Considering Upgrading....

Looking at the price of upgrading to Plus from my old 2016 Premium, I see that it also includes Newblue FX Total FX.

The offer is good I think until the end of the month.... this can not be the entire Total FX that I see on Newblue's website, is it?

Is it perpetual or for a year/month/day?

A couple of questions re TotalFX:

-I like my subtitles to have a solid background but only long enough to cover the text, not go from edge to edge.

Does TotalFX have this ability?

-Also, does it have the classic movie credits scroll where the text is in two columns, the left being right justified and the right, left justified?

Thanks for any input.

@AAProds I've found TP7 really difficult to work with. It causes MEP2022 to become unresponsive when adding any text on my computer.

Hi Al,

Why don't you just use Subtitles Basic/Tickling Center and then adjust the box using Size/Position (then Ctrl+Z if not ungrouped)? I would think that this would be faster and easier than TP7.

For the double column, I was sure that there was one at one time, but it could have been in Pinnacle Studio. You can make your own and save them - left and right.

@AAProds, @browj2

John - it was Pinnacle and it is not possible to create a double column template (well in my testing)

The quickest method is to use the template as John suggested, or any of the multi lined scrolling templates.

This took less than a minute to setup, could be saved as a MVD file and imported into any project.

BTW - MEP 2022 and VPX13 Size position made it quick to position about the centre line, only need equal values of different 'polarity' eg -980 and 980 for each title object for the Horizontal position.
